I wasn't so bothered by the fact that it was opinionated but that it's examples had such obvious and in some cases faulty assumptions. The idea that America will become an exporter of oil due to natural gas is, pardon the pun, a pipe dream. Natural gas has absolutely affected our dependence, but no one knows how long of a supply (or rather given the oil industries continued lack of accuracy on life-of-well numbers, none that I trust) or how regulation will affect this in the long run. Fracking has been targeted by many environmental groups as a huge enemy and I expect to see that continue.
